Third place: closed
Fourth place: closed
Fifth place: Eddie Rockets, open and taking orders, FINALLY!

Make my order on Just eat, pay, wait for confirmation.......wait........wait..........wait............wait...........Order Cancelled.
I gave up and made macaroni cheese instead. :mad:

Braindead parents who think it is okay to raise kids on a diet of take-aways, crisps, coke, chocolate and heavily processed oven-ready muck.
When pulled up on it, they always whinge about how cooking your own food is too expensive. Hogwash! You can prepare tasty, healthy food for a fraction of the price of a takeaway. They know that very well, they are just too lazy to put in the effort and learn how to cook.

Parents of young children should have to attend a course about nutrition and what their kids should be eating. Show them a few simple recipes and basic cookery skills etc.

Went to book a day trip for when I'm off later in the month and was asked to select the return date, which I did. I thought it was a bit odd that they'd ask for the return date and not the departure date but was putting it down to the fact that they would both have to be the same.

Got the email confirmation to say that departure is this Saturday :rolleyes:

Pharmacies: Please turn off your flashy green cross when closed.

We know where you are. You are an essential service. You don't need to advertise medicine to us.

Thanks.

RTÉ “mislabelling” their tv showtimes so that when you record it on the Sky box you only get half of the show.

The word is "though". Though.

Not "tough" or "do". They're both words with a very different meaning.

People shouldn't be allowed to leave school unless they know how to shop for food, put together some simple meals, operate a washing machine, write their CV and be able to face a job interview.

Also, most annoyingly, the full destop site isn't working at all.

Well.. "fine"... if you mean "fine" as in you click on "view first unread post" and it brings you to the
first post of the thread, then yes, it's fine.

Funny enough it's the women that are worst. The ones who think they're above cooking for the family. Easier to take them shopping and let Me D's feed them. Though put a cute outfit on the child and they appear the perfect parent .Trust me I have 1st and 2nd hand experience of it and the problems it leaves the kids with diet wise.

This annoys me! It also wrecks my head with other businesses, too, though.

Starving driving around at night and see a big bright yellow M and think "nice one, something to eat", only to get closer and they're closed. Or the local chipper that does the same.

Or my local Tesco, that are making millions upon millions of pound each year, in profit, and still, STILL, haven't changed the opening hours on their signs! They changed from midnight to 11pm; happened nearly 2 years ago I'd say, and the sign still says midnight. :mad: Now it's closing time at 10pm due to Covid, and they still haven't even put up a temporary sticker on the feckin' sign. :rolleyes:

I remember learning how to wire a plug in primary school. A life skill, but nearly obsolete now.

TA that I am stumbling down memory lane.

Annoying how much coverage pubs are getting. Will they open won't they open etc.
There are much more important things that need to open.

The press is really living up to the drunken Paddy stereotype.

Not the press totally Rig, the pubs always had the biggest vested interest group in the country.

What annoys this poster is the bull from people who try to tell you that the ‘food ‘ thing makes no difference, like that clown Hely-Rae.

Countless examples all over the world tell you different.

The way some shops and assistants treat you like you belong in
Jurassic Park because you are over 35.
I recently recvd notification to tell me I was due for a free phone upgrade. Nothing wrong with my old phone other than it’s a bit..well, old.
Anyways..perky, pretty young assistant shouts hello etc, and after some basic
Enquiries ask for ID. I offer a public Services card with photo, and she kinda smiles sympathetically and says “ah no, you see that’s a public service ID, see where it says Public Service on the card?” . Ok says me, I have my license in the car but it’s pissing rain outside...but I have my phone bill here ( bearing in mind, I haven’t even committed to a purchase yet) will that work in conjunction with the public service ID?
She snorts “ a phone bill? As ID?....haha oh no!”
I pointed out that it is sufficient to open a bank account...
And she stares at me like I’m asking her to come away for weekend in a covid infested mobile home in Ballybunion !
I asked what do we do if I don’t have a driving license and before i finish the
Sentence she blurts PASSPORT.
I then start to ask what if I don’t have a PASSPORT but give up....

I went next door for Grecian 2000, denture cement and some stool softener.

So glad it's not just me annoyed by that. People having chemo and everything postponed and all we've heard for the last three months is the media shíteing on about the publicans losing out. Sure they've been turning massive profits for years what's one season. And now they are looking for a compensation package when the country is already crippled.

Hell, the Public Service card is more than enough as a photo ID! What if you have neither a password nor a driving licence? I bet she'd have taken a work ID! That annoys me, too, now. :mad:
